The slots are straight and extend in parallel with each other. Accordingly, each movable portion 140, 150, 160 of the embodiments is linearly guided along a guiding path.
  • The connecting portion 40 further comprises a hinge mechanism 70 or hinge joint. The movable portion 140, 160 may be configured to rotatably support the carrying handle 20, in particular to rotatably support the coupling section 21 of the carrying handle 20 about a pivot axis. The coupling section 21 and the movable portion 140, 160 may together form the hinge mechanism 70. The coupling section 21 may comprise a supporting section 23, for example with a circular opening. The movable member 160 may comprise a circular supporting protrusion 162 configured to be received in the supporting section 23. Accordingly, the child seat 1 may be configured such that the pivot axis or the hinge joint, and thus the entire carrying handle 20, is movable along the guiding path.
  • The movable portion 140, 160 is operatively coupled to the force transfer member 103 and/or to the locking member 110. For example, the movable portion 140 may comprise a coupling section 142 coupled to the force receiving portion 105 (see Figs. 7 and 8). In another embodiment, the movable portion is coupled to the force receiving portion 105 of the force transfer member 103 via a coupling portion 156, and to a force receiving portion 114 of the locking member 110 via a coupling section 154, for example a protrusion. The coupling portion 156 and the coupling section 154 may be provided on the sliding member 150. The sliding member 150 may be fixedly coupled to the movable portion 160 so as to integrally move therewith. Accordingly, the sliding member 150 also forms a movable portion or the movable portion 160 and the sliding member 150 together form a movable portion.
  • As shown in the embodiment in Figs. 16 to 20, the child seat 1, more precisely the connecting portion 40, may comprise a blocking mechanism 30 for blocking a movement of the carrying handle 20 and the movable portion 140, 150, 160 along the guiding path from the locking position to the unlocking position. The movable portion 140, 150, 160 may be biased towards the locking position. The locking position may be a lower position of the carrying handle. The unlocking position may be an upper position of the carrying handle. The blocking mechanism 30 may be configured to arrest the carrying handle in the locking position. The blocking mechanism 30 is transferrable between an active configuration in which the movement of the carrying handle 20 to the unlocking position is blocked, and an inactive configuration in which the movement of the carrying handle 20 to the unlocking position is allowed. Figs. 15 and 16 show a blocking mechanism 30 according to an embodiment in the active configuration. Figs. 17 and 18 show the blocking mechanism 30 in inactive configuration.
  • The blocking mechanism 30 comprises a locking member 170 provided on the movable portion 160. The locking member 170 comprises an engaging portion 172 and a force receiving portion 174. The locking member 170 may be a locking pin. The engaging portion 172 may be provided on a forward end of said locking member 170. The force receiving portion 174 may be provided at a rearward end portion of the locking member 170.
  • The engaging portion 172 may be configured to engage with a receiving portion 139, for example a recess or opening, provided on the stationary portion 130. The receiving portion 139 is shown in Figs. 11 and 15. When the engaging portion 172 is inserted in the receiving portion 139 (see Fig. 15), a movement of the movable portion 160 relative to the stationary portion 130 is blocked.
  • The locking member 170 is held on said movable portion 160 linearly movable along its longitudinal axis and rotatable about the longitudinal axis. The blocking mechanism 30 may be configured such that a rotation of the locking member 170 is transferred into a linear movement along the longitudinal axis. The locking member 170 may comprise a contact surface 171 extending about said longitudinal axis and configured to contact a supporting surface 161 that may be provided on the movable portion 160. The contact surface 171 and the supporting surface 161 are formed as sliding surfaces allowing said contact surface 171 to slide on the supporting surface 161.
  • The contact surface 171 is held in contact with the supporting surface 161 by an urging member 178. The urging member 178 may be supported on a flange portion on the locking member on one side and may be supported against a mounting bracket 176 fixed to the movable portion 160 at the other side.
  • The contact surface 171 and the supporting surface 161 are formed such that a rotation of said locking member 170 leads to a displacement of said locking member 170 in the direction of its longitudinal axis. In the state of the locking member 170 shown in Fig. 16, the engaging portion 172 is inserted in the receiving portion 139 and in the states shown in Figs. 17 and 18, the locking member 170 is lifted and the engaging portion 172 is disengaged from the receiving portion 139. In the state as shown in Figs. 17 and 18, the movable portion 150, 160 is allowed to move from the locking position (Fig. 19) to the unlocking position (Fig. 20) in which the movable portion 150, 160 is displaced upwardly on the stationary portion 130. Accordingly, by applying a lifting force on the carrying handle 20, the movable portion 150, 160 and the carrying handle 20 coupled thereto are moved relative to the supporting portion 130 from the locking position to the unlocking position. Since the movable portion 150, 160 not only supports the carrying handle 20 but is also operatively coupled to the engaging portions 104, 111, the engaging portions 104, 111 are moved towards the unlocking position when the movable portion 150, 160 and the carrying handle 20 are moved to the unlocking position along the guiding path.
  • The child seat 1 may further comprise a force application portion 22 associated with the carrying handle 20. The force application portion 22 may be provided on the coupling section 21 of the carrying handle 20 (see Fig. 13). The force receiving portion 174 and the force application portion 22 may be configured such that the force application portion 22 applies a force on the force receiving portion 174 when the carrying handle 20 is positioned in a predefined position or is positioned in a predefined angular range. The predefined position may be a position in which the carrying handle 20 is in an upright position. In the upright position, a gripping portion of the carrying handle 20 and a pivot axis of the carrying handle may be arranged in an imaginary plane that extends vertically and in which the pivot axis extends. The force receiving portion 174 and the engaging portion 172 may be integrally formed in or provided on a locking member 170.
  • As shown in the embodiment, the force receiving portion 174 may be a protrusion extending on said locking member 170 in radial direction.
  • The force application portion 22 may be a rib or protrusion on the coupling section 21. The force application portion 22 may extend in parallel with a rotation axis of the gripping handle 20. The force application portion 22 may extend into a channel 164 formed on the movable portion 160. The force receiving portion 174 may extend into the channel 164. The force application portion 22 may be configured to push against the force receiving portion such that the force receiving portion 174 rotates out of an at rest position corresponding to a locking position, to an unlocking position. The blocking mechanism 30 may be configured such that the force receiving portion 174 is rotatable in opposite direction out of the at rest position for moving to the unlocking position.
  • The receiving portion may be biased towards the at rest position by an urging member 178.
